From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 11 I Will Prove It

"Kratz's conjecture..."

[Kratz’s conjecture?Damn it, this is one of the top ten unsolved problems in mathematics! 】

【I am a turtle!What kind of academic master is this?Reading such a profound book while running?Let alone watching it while running, even if you ask me to sit and watch it, I can’t understand it! 】

[Kneel down, kneel down, kneel down to the great god!I feel ashamed that I just assumed that the master was reading a novel! 】

Xia Jingjing opened the book and pointed the camera.

"Take any positive integer. If it is an even number, divide it by 2. If it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, and then repeat the process. The final result will always be 1."

"Hey, classmates, I actually understand!"

Xia Jingjing was a little excited.

[Haha, I understand it too. Let me just say, how is it possible for someone to run and read at the same time? Isn’t this a topic that elementary school students know, is this it?Still need research?It’s okay for me to fuck you! 】

[Is it okay if you fuck me?Then why don't you prove it?Do you think too highly of yourself, or do you think too little of the mathematicians of the world? 】

[Let me tell you this, Kratz’s conjecture is the simplest unsolved mystery in mathematics. Everyone who studies mathematics has heard of it, but it has been more than 90 years since it was proposed. It will take a hundred years to go, but in the past hundred years, countless mathematicians have worked hard for it, but no one can prove it! 】

[Brother Xueba, Brother Xueba, this is a deep pit that will never be recovered. Don’t jump into it!Anchor Anchor, please advise Brother Xueba to overcome the boundless sea and turn back to the shore!Brother Xueba, you are still young, don’t make a mistake! 】

Xia Jingjing kept watching the barrage and frowned when she saw how serious the man said it was.

"Senior, are you studying this Kratz conjecture? But... But I saw friends in my live broadcast room saying that this conjecture is a deep hole. No one has been able to prove it for a hundred years. Senior, do you want to... ..."

Xia Jingjing said worriedly.

Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at Xia Jingjing. He borrowed this book from the library on purpose.

But this does not mean that he, Lin Mo, now wants to prove Kratz's conjecture, that he still knows how much he weighs.

The reason why he borrowed this book was, on the one hand, because the temptation of a million dollars was really hard to put down, and on the other hand, this book was actually a popular science book on Kratz's conjecture, and it didn't take too much time to read. It's a brain-consuming book that's suitable for him to read while running. At the same time, the book is thick enough so that he won't finish it after reading it twice and have to run to the library to change books.

But when he heard Xia Jingjing's words, Lin Mo glanced at the mobile phone held in Xia Jingjing's hand and replied calmly.

"I'll prove it."

【Fuck!Did you see the confident look in Xueba's eyes when he said this just now? This is not a top student, he is a god of study! 】

【cut!Who doesn't know how to brag? There are so many difficult problems that mathematicians have no proof of. How can he, a student, prove it?How old is he? Who does he think he is? Why are he pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? 】

[That is, if he can prove it, I will eat shit on my head! 】

[Screenshot, this guy upstairs is just waiting for the top student to get slapped in the face! 】

While speaking, Lin Mo had already swept away the food on the plate in front of him.

"Senior, have you finished eating? Where are you going next?"

Seeing Lin Mo getting up and clearing the plates, Xia Jingjing asked hurriedly.

"Change a book and continue running."

"Still...still running?"

Xia Jingjing's jaw dropped in shock.

"Senior, don't you need a break?"

Lin Mo glanced at Xia Jingjing, said nothing, and walked straight out of the cafeteria.

[Brother Xueba: Didn't I rest when I just ate? 】【Awesome!Regardless of whether this buddy can really prove Kratz's conjecture, what can't be done with just this physical endurance?Impressed! 】

"Senior, do you know how much you have run all morning? Do you still want to run? How much do you plan to run?"

"16.873 kilometers, then run 25.322 kilometers."

Lin Mo glanced at his task panel and replied.

"what?"

Xia Jingjing didn't react for a moment, but the barrage in the live broadcast room had already exploded.

【Fuck!Brother Xueba even remembers how much he ran?And it's accurate to three decimal places?What kind of crazy operation is this? 】

[Isn’t this just random nonsense? 】

[No, brothers, I just did the math. From the beginning of the live broadcast to now, Xueba has run a total of 41 laps. According to a lap of 400 meters, it is 16.4 kilometers. If we include the things we didn’t see before the live broadcast, Then, the number Xueba said is probably true!The top student said he still had to run 25.322 kilometers. I did the math and found that it added up to exactly 42.195 kilometers, a full marathon...]

[Hiss, it’s so terrifying, this is not a top student, this is obviously a great god! 】

【Worship the Great God! 】

"Senior, you... are you going to run a full marathon? You... this is too hard..."

"Well, let's get some exercise."

Xia Jingjing was so shocked that she didn't want to speak.

Exercise?Who can exercise and run a marathon?
"Senior, can I continue to live broadcast your running in the afternoon? The water friends in my live broadcast room are very interested."

Xia Jingjing looked at Lin Mo expectantly.

Lin Mo cast a noncommittal glance at Xia Jingjing, then walked to the library with the book.

Holding up her mobile phone, Xia Jingjing quietly followed Lin Mo.

Because it was lunch time, there was no one in the library at this time. The library had a self-service book borrowing and returning service, so Lin Mo didn't waste much time and returned the book. He also picked a book about mathematics. It looked at the thickness. Thicker than Kratz guessed in the morning.

Lin Mo found a seat and sat down, looking through.

"Senior, aren't you going for a run?"

Because she was in the library, Xia Jingjing lowered her voice and asked quietly.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at Xia Jingjing, said nothing, and continued to read with his head down.

Xia Jingjing was a little confused, but the barrage soon revealed the answer to her.

[Why is the anchor so ignorant? Didn't he notice that it was noon, when the sun was shining brightly?If you ask the top student to go for a run, what if he gets a heat stroke? 】

[Didn’t you ask people why they don’t take a rest just now? Now that they have a rest, you ask them why they don’t go for a run. What do you want people to do like Brother Ba? 】

Xia Jingjing blushed and finally realized her problem.

Lin Mo didn't care what Xia Jingjing was thinking, just looked down at the book in his hand.

About half an hour later, Lin Mo looked at his watch and looked out the window.

It was already past one o'clock, and the sun was still very bright, but compared to the sunshine at noon, it was finally a bit milder.

Lin Mo closed the book, stood up, and walked out of the library.
